Customer Reviews

Reliable and informative
As with the Exploring the Old Testament Series, this is a great book for New Testament study. It is well indexed and easy to reference, especially if you are skimming through looking for something specific. There are parts of it that are a bit heavy going but all-in-all this is a great study aid.

Exploring the New Testament 2- Letters and Revelation
This book is excellent for anyone wanting to study the background and content of the Epistles and Revelation. It is very easy to read but full of interesting and pertinent information. It also has essay questions and further reading lists for anyone who wants to do more in depth study.
